For those of you who attended (and weren’t able to make it) my WP7 Push Notification Presentation at the South West FL Code Camp here’s the download. Enjoy!

Remember that Microsoft doesn’t guarantee the delivery of the notification, so keep that in mind when building your application. Also, it looks like the size limit on the notification is 1024 bytes (haven’t confirmed this yet).

UPDATE: According to Jorge Raastroem, PM of Push Notification, “All in all, the payload size is 100K, but some of that is eaten up by the http headers.”

UPDATE2: It looks like Jorge got carried away with his email and immediately replied saying is it not 100K, but 100 bytes.

WARNING: the code provided is a work in progress and is by no means production ready.
